The Teachings of don Miguel Ruiz
The Four Agreements, written by don Miguel Ruiz, has
sold over 3 million copies in the US and been translated into 30 foreign languages. Millions of people have used these four simple precepts to change their lives in positive ways. By releasing limiting patterns, beliefs and agreements, they discover new found joy in living through choice instead of reaction. They develop increased personal awareness and create new ways of perceiving beyond the "limited self", opening clear channels of communication, in every area of life, family, friends and co-workers.
Over the past eight years, I have had the honor to apprentice with Rita Rivera Fox (one of don Miguel's original apprentices), to study with and learn from Mother Sarita (don Miguel's mother and teacher) and to practice the art of Toltec Dreaming with Barbara Emrys (Toltec Dreaming Teacher and don Miguel's colleague). In 2003 I became certified as a Four Agreements Facilitator (through don Miguel's school TransformU, in San Diego.)
I facilitate groups and lecture on the teachings of The Four Agreements as well as
The Mastery of Love and The Voice of Knowledge. I am committed to guiding groups and individuals, in the study and practical application of these teachings in every day life. Integrating Miguel's teachings into daily living is a cornerstone to a life transformed.
What are the Four Agreements?
1. Be Impeccable With Your word.
Speak with integrity. Say only what you mean.
Avoid using the word to speak against yourself or
to gossip about others. Use the power of your word in the direction of truth and love.
2. Don't Take Anything Personally.
Nothing others do is because of you. What others say and do is a projection of their own reality, their own dream. When you are immune to the opinions and actions of others, you won't be a victim of needless suffering.
3. Don't Make Assumptions
Find the courage to ask questions and to express what you really want. Communicate with others as clearly as you can to avoid misunderstandings, sadness and drama. With just this one agreement, you can completely transform your life.
4. Always Do Your Best
Your best is going to change from moment to moment; it will be different when you are healthy as opposed to sick. Under any circumstance, simply do your best, and you will avoid self-judgment, self-abuse and regret.
